Stay updated with the latest news and announcements from the 506th Infantry Regiment Realism Unit.
We are an ArmA gaming realism unit. For information about the real 506th IR, check here: 506th Infantry Regiment
The 506th Infantry Regiment Realism Unit was founded in late 2014 by former members of the 15th MEU(SOC) Realism Unit. Many of our members are veterans and active duty military from around the world. The primary focus of the unit is light infantry combat in ArmA Reforger utilizing real to life tactics, techniques, protocol, and communication. The core of the unit is based around light infantry platoon task forces with a small amount of supporting assets.
At its core, a realism unit is a role-playing unit. We strive to promote an immersive and professional environment for members to role-play in by providing a unique and structured military experience. When in-game, members are expected to act as if they are on a foreign battlefield or in a domestic training environment. For these reasons, the minimum age to join the 506th IR Realism Unit is 18 years old.
The goal of the unit is to always balance the realism with fun. If members are not enjoying the experience, then there is no point in the unit existing. When there comes a point at which a decision between the two has to be made, we always have to remember that this is a game and we are here for entertainment, and we may from time to time err on the side of fun.

Honoring our newest soldiers who have completed their One Station Unit Training and are ready to join the ranks.
